Perfect Pairings: Wine Recommendations for Your Favourite Steveston Pizza

Pizza and wine? Absolutely. While beer gets a lot of attention when it comes to pizza night, there's something timeless and elevated about pairing a beautifully crafted pizza with the perfect glass of wine. Pizza night just got a little more refined. At Steveston Pizza Company, we believe that every pizza — from a classic Marguerite to a truffle-topped seafood creation,  deserves to be savoured with the perfect glass of wine.

The good news? You don’t need to be a sommelier. We’ve curated simple, delicious wine pairing suggestions using popular varietals available at you local Liquor Stores. So whether you're enjoying your pizza at home or planning a wine-and-pizza night with friends, you’ll know exactly what to pour.

Seafood & Pesto Pizzas

Pizzas: Green, Fiume, Mist, Marguerite Six, Water, Butterfly, Serpent

These pizzas are light, herbaceous, and often layered with shrimp, smoked salmon, or real crabmeat.

Best Wine Pairings:

  1. BC Pinot Gris – clean and citrusy, a natural match for shrimp and basil pesto

  2. Gewürztraminer – lightly floral, slightly off-dry, great with smoked salmon

  3. Blanc de Blancs Sparkling Wine – fresh, bubbly, and luxurious — ideal for seafood-heavy pizzas like the Serpent or Butterfly

Bold & Spicy Meat Pizzas

Pizzas: Caveman, Francesco’s, Fire, Flame, Mexican 1 & 2, Italian, Canadian 2

These pies are rich, spicy, and packed with flavour — think taco beef, back bacon, capicolli, jalapeños.

Best Wine Pairings:

  1. BC Pinot Noir – soft tannins and cherry notes make it a great match for spicy meats

  2. Cabernet Franc – peppery and structured, great with barbecue chicken or ground beef

  3. Syrah/Shiraz – smoky, bold, and smooth enough to handle heat

Vegetarian & Truffle-Lover Pizzas

Pizzas: Earth, The 5th Element, Green Earth, Wind, Marguerite Tree series

With ingredients like mushrooms, spinach, artichokes, creamy brie, and truffle oil, these pizzas are all about richness and depth.

Best Wine Pairings:

  1. BC Unoaked Chardonnay – bright and fresh, balances creamy cheeses and garlic

  2. Pinot Gris – versatile and food-friendly

  3. Pinot Noir – pairs beautifully with mushrooms and earthy toppings

Classic Tomato-Based Pizzas

Pizzas: Simple, Canadian, Hawaiian, Marguerite Classic, Mediterranean

Bright tomato sauce calls for acidity and fruit-forward wines that can handle herbs, ham, or feta.

Best Wine Pairings:

  1. Rosé (dry) – crisp and refreshing, works beautifully with ham or pineapple

  2. Gamay Noir – light and juicy with low tannins, perfect for classic tomato-based pies

  3. Dolcetto or Sangiovese-style Reds – medium-bodied and balanced
